Using Our Disneyland Paris 2022 Pricing Calendar

Our Disneyland Paris pricing calendar is based on the average price of a 3 night stay booked at least 6 months in advance.

Disney’s pricing structure works on a supply and demand scale. Each hotel starts off selling rooms at their lowest price. When rooms are sold, it reduces the supply so the prices start to go up. There is no such thing as a last minute deal at Disneyland Paris. The best prices are for those who book in advance. For example, it could be more expensive to book a last minute trip in off-season compared to booking a stay a year in advance during high season.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in January

Overall, January is the quietest and cheapest month of the year. However, this is for a good reason. The weather can be very cold with chances of rain and snow. Disney also takes advantage of the low crowds to do maintenance and refurbishment on some of it’s most popular attractions. Many of the shows are also not running too. This is why January is one of the cheapest times to visit Disneyland Paris.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in February

France is split into 3 different regions for the school holidays and have 2 weeks per region. Generally, the first zone will start in mid-February around the same time as British schools are starting to breakup. For a lot of French families, the February half term is all about skiing which helps keep the crowds reasonably low in the parks.

It’s usually the cheapest half term to visit Disneyland Paris, but keep in mind the parks are not open as late, it can be cold and some rides may be closed for refurbishment. Shows such as Mickey & The Magician are also likely to not be running too.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in March

It’s the last month of the Winter pricing and the weather is usually starting to get better. This makes March a great time to visit Disneyland Paris for those with preschoolers or no kids.

In 2022, the resort will start it’s 30th anniversary celebrations on 6th March too so expect the parks to be busy around this date.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in April

It’s the start of the summer pricing season so expect prices to start going up.

On 12th April 2022, Disneyland Paris will celebrate it’s 30th anniversary. Combined with the school holidays across Europe, Easter celebrations and the weather becoming better, the parks can get very busy,

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in May

May is probably the best half term to visit Disneyland Paris. French schools are not off at the same time which helps keep the crowds and prices low. Plus, the Disneyland Park stays open later too. As the sun generally sets between 9pm and 9.40pm, the park needs to stay open later for the nightly performance of Disney Illuminations (fireworks). Our Disneyland Paris crowd calendar shows May is a great time to visit.

The weather is also usually good with highs of around 19c

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in June

June is one of my favourite times of the year to visit either with young or no kids. The weather is good, parks are open late and other than at the weekend, the parks are reasonably quiet too. The May half term does overflow into the first week.

Expect sunny days and highs of around 22c

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in July

French schools break-up around the second week of July which starts to make the parks very busy. Our Disneyland Paris crowd calendar shows July is a busy month to visit.

14th July is Bastille Day and is one of the busiest public holidays in France.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in August

As you’d expect, August can be a very busy month at Disneyland Paris. Our crowd calendar shows it tends to get a bit quieter and cheaper towards the end of August, just before the kids go back to school.

Expect great weather throughout the month.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in September

Like June, September is a great month to visit outside of the school holidays. The weather is generally still great and the crowds are low. Disney Hotel prices are usually very good too.

Expect great weather throughout the month.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in October

October sees the start of Disney’s Halloween season. This is one of the busiest and most expensive times to visit Disneyland Paris. The Halloween season is amazing. However, if it’s your first time or you’re visiting with younger children, I wouldn’t recommend going during October.

French schools also have 2 weeks for Halloween too. During the 2 weeks of half term in 2021, the Disney parks were full to capacity on most days.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in November

November is a very mixed bag at Disneyland Paris. Weekdays are generally very quiet, whereas it’s extremely busy at the weekends. Christmas season generally starts the 2nd weekend of November and the parks look very festive. From Sunday afternoon, the resort starts to get quieter until Friday.

Also, French companies privatise the parks on selected evenings, usually a Friday and Monday. This makes the parks very busy during the day from around noon as people start to arrive for their Christmas parties.

Disneyland Paris Crowds & Prices in December

Weekdays continue to be quiet and weekends will be busy in December at Disneyland Paris. Our crowd calendar shows, like November, if you’re arriving Sunday afternoon, the parks tend to become quieter as people start heading home after the weekend.

Like in November, French companies hire the park for their evening Christmas parties.

Expect large crowds every day from 17th December as schools around Europe start their Christmas holidays.
